Dolphins have targeted Hartline and Clemons as must re-signs

Free agency begins in just one month, but the Dolphins have yet to re-sign any of their dozen players whose contracts will soon expire.

Donít mistake quiet for inactivity.

Behind the scenes, the front office has discretely targeted at least two starters ó Brian Hartline and Chris Clemons ó they hope to lock into contract extensions before the NFLís new year begins on March 12.

I'm not surprised by the fact that we will try hard to resign Hartline but a bit surprised by the Clemons news. Although if he wants to sign somewhere around 3M$, he may be a pretty good option at FS.

Hartline is the perfect #2 receiver, he knows the system and he's productive + young and dedicated. Add a Wallace or a Jennings and we'll feature a pretty solid trio with Bess.

I wonder if they'll try to sign Smith too, our CB situation will become nightmarish pretty quickly now that Milliner is clearly out of reach at 12...

Agree on Hartline. He's not a guy that's going to score many touchdowns, but he will move the chains and is reliable. I thought he did a good job this year considering he went up against the other teams top corner. I think Clemons is still ascending a bit so I can see that. I'm for letting Smith walk, however. I just don't see a consistently good corner in Smith. Good corners will be hard to find in free agency so I think that will put a huge, huge emphasis on finding two starters in the draft.
